GINGY: (spoken)
Listen up puppet!
(sung) We spend our whole lives wishing
We weren't so freakin' strange.
They made us feel that way
But its they who need to change.
PAPA BEAR: (spoken)
The way they think that is.
BABY BEAR: (spoken)
That's right, Papa!
GINGY:
It's time to stop the hiding. It's time to stand up tall.
Sing hey world, I'm different, and here I am splinters and all!
Splinters-ah-whoo-oo-oo-and all-whoo!
MAMA BEAR:
Let your freak flag wave
PINNOCHIO: (spoken)
My what?
MAMA BEAR:
Let your freak flag fly
GINGY: (spoken)
That's what I'm talking about!
MAMA BEAR:
Never take it down, never take it down
Raise it way up high! Let your freak flag fly! Let it fly, fly, fly!
PINOCCHIO:
Its hard to be a puppet
THREE PIGS:
Little puppet boy
PINOCCHIO:
So many strings attached
THREE PIGS:
Can't cut loose
TWEEDLE DUM & (THREE PIGS):
But it's not the choice you made. (Ooh, no,no)
Its just, how you, were hatched!
ALL:
Let your freak flag wave, let your freak flag fly. Never take it down, Never take it down,
Raise it way up high!
Let your freak flag fly
THREE PIGS:
I'm proud to be a piggy
CHORUS:
Little pig little pig

I raise my furry fist
CHORUS:
Papa Bear, Papa Bear

PINOCCHIO: (spoken)
Yes! It all makes sense now! We may be freaks, but we’re freaks with teeth, and claws,
and magic wands! And together, we can stand up to Farquaad!
(sung)
Never take it down
Raise it way up high!
ALL:
Raise it up way high
Raise it up way high
TWEEDLE DUM:
We've got magic
We've got power
Who are they
To say we're wrong?
ALL:
Wrong!
TWEEDLE DUM:
All the things that make us special
ALL:
Go egg!
TWEEDLE DUM:
Are the things that make us strong!
What makes us special,
PINOCCHIO:
What makes us special
ALL:
What makes us special
Makes us strong!
Let your freak flag wave!
Let your freak flag fly!
Never take it down, never take it down
Raise it way up high!

Let your freak flag fly!

Fly!
Fly!

PINNOCHIO:(spoken)
I'm wood! I'm good! Get used to it!
ALL:
